why do they list sugar and carbohydrates on foods if sugar is just converted into carbohydrates?
In: Biology
Other way around. Carbohydrates are converted into sugars. And it’s the same reason why you have to list saturated and unsaturated fats separately, even if they have the same components, not everything is the same.
In addition to the other answer, there are also some complex carbs which can’t be digested, like cellulose. That comes out as poop.
